Five Dates

Five Dates is for people who enjoy awkward conversations, dry humour and stories about how hard it is to connect with someone. It is an interactive live-action comedy: you guide the main character through a series of video dates, and how he behaves changes how each date feels about him and how things end. What hooks you: - The first evening goes on figuring out who each date really is, and every conversation has its own tone and pace. - The game runs on dialogue, so you have to make quick decisions, much like in a real conversation. - The relationship status shifts as you talk, and you can see how your words affect it. - There are ten endings, so it is worth playing through more than once to see them all.

Region: Global, any Steam account region. Vinny, a millennial from London, joins a dating app for the first time while living in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. With five potential female matches, Vinny must pluck up courage to video date with wildly different personalities, starring Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) and Georgia Hirst (Vikings). The viewer’s choices will define Vinny’s interactions with each date and their interest in seeing him again. Amidst a branching, multi-directional chain of conversation topics and deep-dive questions, Vinny is faced with digital game dates, awkward scenarios and unexpected truths. Five Dates is an exploration of the unpredictable modern dating experience, which follows an average single man as he navigates the world of digital dating. Through his journey, the decisions the viewer makes for him will challenge their own conceptions of attraction and compatibility.
